The pccUl committee appointed from those
valiaut defenders of our Bute and city riyrtaH,
Ibe legUlaturemen, for the purpose of Uklnir
testimony and of making a report on tho sub
ject of the coal dUHcuHies, have been buny dur
ing the past week in attending; to tlio duty in
trusted to tbem, perforrrlni? It in tbelr own
inimltaMe ftjlo, and in the wanner uumt plew
inK to themselves. They have thus far com
pleted their labor to their own satUfactioa suf
ficiently to make an extended preliminary re
port, roIdk over the ground of dl.ipute, etatlni?
that, whatever the final rdport of the committee
may be. legislative action of auy kind will not
go far towards remedying tho evils
that exist, and recommending that
tbe parties to the dispute take the mutter out of
tbe hands of the Legislature, and settle It between
themselves, as they might have done in the
first, place before It was brought before tho judi
ciary, by means of arbitration. The report
even goes into the English plan of arbitration
which has been made public so often, explain
ing it in detail, and recommending its a lop lion
at all hazards. Probably some friend of the
movement has called the attention of a commit
teeman for the first time to this excellent plan,
and he. being struck with its good points, of
which it has many, has seized upon it as the
quickest remedy, which indeed it h, If all
parties only knew it. Tbe committeeman was
probably profoundly ignorant of the fact that
tbe plan has been repeatedly proposed to the
miners, and has as repeatedly failed, because
either one side or the other did not take enough
interest in the matter. A recommendation of
a method of introduction would be of vastly
more service at present than any number of
favorable criticisms of tho thing itself.
Tbe final report ot the committee, it is ex
pected, will be presented some time next week.
It will be a very voluminous document. It
would also be very valuable were it not that it
is only a monument of how the weary length of
the thing may be dragged along, retarding all
other movements towards reconciliation which
promise much better and speedier results. The
ommittee have, for one thing, greatly exceeded
their instructions, probably because they
thought it would be to the best Interests of the
public to do bo. The resolution of the Senate
creating the committee was explicit enough,
and required the committee to investigate
whether any of the anthracite coal-carrying
companies have violated their char
tered rights. Notwithstanding these in
structions, the committee have en
tered upon a very expensive general in
quiry into the whole coal question,
of which the use cannot be seen at present.
They seem to have taken it for granted
from the start that the violation by the com
panies of their respective charters has not been
made, and that any legislation that way would
be useless. They thereupon set themselves to
thinking in what other way they could he use
ful, not caring to return to' those who sent them
without having spent some money and with
euch a little report as these facts would warrant,
and so have chosen their own course of action.
The committee will close up their operations
abont Friday. The closing arguments by the
counsel of the respective Bides will begin next
Wednesday afternoon, after all the testimony is
in. The railroads will have the final Bay, and
cause will be summed np in person by the
ever, it is hoped that they will boo iae lu,nK
through to the end, and not make only a partial
examination. If they will but push their in
quiries far enough, they will find out, except
they he wilfully blind, how the workingmen
have been governed by their organization in the
past, and how unjust are tbe numerous demands
which have been made by that organization, or
rather by its officers in its name.
As we supposed last week, the bituminous
miners were not so foolish as to bind themselves
to the W. B. A., and unite in a general suspen
sion for the benefit of the eastern region. It
can hardly be supposed that such a thing could
ever happen, the regions are so far apart ud
the interests bo different. It is well known that
the officers of the eastern union have been en
deavoring to bring about such a result for some
time, but without success. When they caught
eight of the delegates at Johnstown, they pro
bably thought that the western men had
agreed to the propositions because they had
condescended so far as to Bend representatives
to the meeting there held, and thereupon sent
off the telegram to tbe effect that a general sus
pension was Inevitable. The bituminous miners,
in their card which they were obliged to pub
lish contradicting the report, state that "we
have no idea of abandoning our own organiza
tion, which we control, to put ourselves under a
foreign organization, controlled by strangers.
We have had steady work for the last fifteen
years, and want tbe same in the future."
Good for the bituminous miners. Their own
organization, it might be added. Is what the
W. B. A. was intended to be a benevolent as
sociation, from which the miners draw money
in case of sickness, death, or other calamity.
and which takes measures for the best interests
of the miners. It is not an aggressive body like
the W. B. A. If the latter were this only, there
rnnld be no ODDOsition to it.
The following is the complete summary of
the trade for tbe past week as reported lor the

Tbe journal also has the following:
"The situation in this region is this: Tbree-
lourina ot the men would go to work at the
basis offered if the leaders would consent to it.
A large portion, among them a large number of
the Germans, would go to work if they could be
Erotected by tne operators afterwards. Some
ave offered to do so, provided the operators
would pledge themselves to do bo, but the ope
rators have candidly told them that they had no
power to protect mem against the W. B. A.
"The Bufferine in some portions of tha rep-Ion

would continue to do bo, if a portion of the v.

after resumption; but they cannot pay laborers
more without taking it off the miners contract
work, which a majority will not permit. Nothing

The Philadelphia and Perkloinen Tamp he
Cnpany Jury Appointed to Asaeas the Value
Of SZonk of the CuiiliMuyi.
The Philadelphia and Ferklomen Turnpike.
from Diamond street to Germantown depot, is
to De purchased Dy tne city ot rnnadeiphia and
dedicated to public uses. By the terms of in- i
corporation of the turnpike company, the State
bad the right to recover the road after the year
1820. Tbe rights of the State over the road
having come iuto the possession of the city of
rniiadeiphia in tne year 1865. the work of
assessing the assets of the company is to be done
at once. The jury appointed under tha law to
inquire into the value of the property of the
turnpike company met yesterday in German
town. The jury consists of Messrs. . K. Cope,
Hiram Miller, Joseph B. Barry, Wm. F. Smith,
Kobert w. ioust, Fletcher, u. w. Btuart,
Samuel Kilpatrick, and Archibald Mclatyre.
Thev travelled over tbe route in company with
President Blddle and Treasurer Perot, of the
turnpike- company, and J. B. Townsend and
Chas. . Lex, attorney for the company. On the
part of tne city Assistant solicitor juessicg, in
place of Thomat. C. Worrell, was In attendance.
The stock of the company if at par would be
worth 230,000, and a part of the duty of the
jury will be to approximate towards the real
value of the stock.
The company receives $2500 per annum from
the railway company for the use of a portion of
tne road, ana tne railway company is ot course
bound to keep the road between its tracks in
good condition. When the street through
Nicetown was torn up in order to lay the water
main, it was never properly repaired, mis
neglect is directly traceable to the turnpike
company, as it is the party under wmcn tne
railway company is a tenant, and if the Utter
neglects to keep the road in repair, the former
should attend to the matter, and charge the
costs to tbe tenant. It will be a great relief to
Germantown when the turnpike becomes the
Eroperty of the city, and is made an open
ighway.
The Traffic in Eqqs During the past few
weeks the trade in eggs has assumed large pro
portions, the decline in prices having stimu
lated tbe demand. A fortnight ago tuey com
manded 32 cents per dozen, wholesale, but now
bring but 16 cents. The shipments to this city
by railroad during the past week reached the
enormous aggregate of 2509 barrels, and for the
past month 0858 barrels, As each barrel con
tains about seventy dozen eggs, the whole
amount received by this channel alone is 6'.)0,0tK
dozen, or 8,280,720 eggs for the month. This is,
of course, exclusive of tbe arrivals by wagons
and innumerable other means of conveyance.
The cause of the recent decline in prices is un
doubtedly due to the fact that the farmers in
the Interior and the Western States have
hoarded them during the last fall in the hope of
obtaining large prices during the winter months.
Tub Fires in February Captain McCu9ker,
of the Insurance Patrol, has submitted his state
ment of the fires which occurred during the

Departure of tub Soum Penn Hose.
The South Penn hose carriage was this morning
dragged through tbe streets by a forlorn squad
of ex-volunteers. The apparatus, rendered use
less by the establishment of the Paid Fire De
partment, was sold to an out-of-town organiza
tion. Tbe South Penn hoys could not permit
the occasion of its removal to pass without sotno
animadversions npon the city and those who had
aided in bringing the lively volunteers to sud
den gloom and despondency. Upou a rlcketty
waeon they rigged a transparency, covered with
a number of inscriptions, thus:

and then followed the ex-voluutcers, drawing
the carriage.
